Tokyo Police

v8 Chapter 8: similar cases

"Suicide? Is it possible that someone deliberately faked it?"

Miko, who is a manga author herself, naturally thought about it from the point of view of conspiracy.

Seeing Yuko and Miki looking at him curiously, Lin Xiuyi thought for a while, then remembered that this case had already been reported by the media, so he said to Yuko without any hesitation:

"The victim of this case is a retired university professor. The Hokkaido police have determined that this is a suicide case, and so far, I have not found anything unusual from the existing information. So, maybe Hokkaido The conclusion drawn by the police is the truth of the case!"

Lin Xiu was flipping the crab legs on the charcoal stove with a tong while thinking about the case in the documents, and suddenly replied to Yuzi absentmindedly.

"Hey... There are so many cases that have happened to the elderly recently, is it because of aging? By the way, Aizawa and the others also handled an accidental case of an elderly person living alone a few days ago. This kind of unfortunate always happens. Time is really sad!"

When Miki heard Lin Xiuyi's words, she couldn't help but said with some emotion.

"A suicide of an elderly person living alone?"

Hearing that Miki brought up a similar case by chance, Lin Xiuyi asked curiously.

"No... No, it was an accidental gas explosion! Aizawa and Hanagata were responsible for the case, and it has been determined that it was caused by the aging of the gas stove."

Miki was suddenly asked by Lin Xiuyi, and she casually told what she knew.

"The gas explosion? Can you tell me the specifics?"

"It seems that the deceased fell asleep in the process of boiling water, which caused the boiling water to extinguish the fire and cause gas poisoning, but the explosion seems to be caused by the aging of the surrounding wires. In fact, I don't know much about the specific situation!"

Miki said to Lin Xiuyi with some regret, she did not expect that Lin Xiuyi would suddenly be so interested in the case she accidentally brought up.

"Then the deceased should have died of gas poisoning in his sleep, doesn't it sound like suicide?" As a bystander, Miko Fukuda sharply put forward his own point of view.

"Elderly living alone?", "Burning charcoal?", "Gas poisoning?"

These keywords suddenly appeared in Lin Xiuyi's mind, and he keenly felt that there seemed to be some similarities among them.

"Gas explosion? The concentration of the leaked combustible gas should be quite high. Are there no windows in the whole house for ventilation?"

"It should be like this! Otherwise, it won't explode!" Mei Ji thought for a while, and then replied to Lin Xiuyi.

"Don't open a single window? In the past few days, the temperature at night should be very comfortable! Does it feel a bit strange to close all the windows?"

Lin Xiuyi said to Miki suspiciously.

"What? Do you care about this case at the police department?" Miki asked Lin Xiuyi somewhat puzzled. Just when the two were about to discuss further, Yuzi suddenly said loudly to Lin Xiuyi:

"Hey, Shuichi-kun, is the cod crab on the stove ready?"

"Oops, I was so careless that I almost got burnt. Fortunately, you reminded me!"

Lin Xiuyi quickly took the overcooked cod crab from the oven, and then distributed it to everyone with clips. After everyone was allocated a new cod crab, Lin Xiuyi's mind returned to the case in Hokkaido.

According to the autopsy report of Eiji Noguchi provided by the Hokkaido police, the forensic doctor detected a part of the composition of zopiclone in Eiji Noguchi's gastric juice, which is mainly contained in common sexual objects. This also means that Noguchi had taken ** before burning the charcoal to prevent himself from waking up. However, in the case of Professor Noguchi's suicide, there is still a very critical issue that has not been clarified, and that is why he chose to commit suicide by burning charcoal. This is not reflected in the short two-sentence suicide note.

...

The next morning, after Lin Xiu made a cup of fragrant pour-over coffee for himself as usual, he sat quietly in front of the computer and searched with interest about the accident that happened not long ago. related consultation.

The bombing took place in a remote building in Tokyo. The deceased was Shuntaro Kobayashi, a retired elementary school principal who lived a prosperous life. According to some signs found at the explosion site, it is speculated. It is very likely that Shuntaro Kobayashi accidentally fell asleep on the sofa in his living room during the process of boiling water. So much so that no gas leaks were found, which eventually led to this tragic tragedy.

Lin Xiuyi kept flipping through the relevant information about the case with the mouse, until he saw the kettle placed on the gas stove, which was photographed at the scene, and he couldn't help but feel even more suspicious.

"The kettle in the photo clearly has a stopper that can whistle after boiling. Lin Xiuyi can still see it at a glance. Since Shuntaro Kobayashi is sitting on the sofa not far from the kitchen, why can't he Wake up? The sound of this kind of thing should be loud enough."

It was with this question in mind that Lin Xiuyi quickly opened the detailed autopsy report of Juntaro Kobayashi~lightnovelpub.net~ According to the tips in this practice report, Lin Xiuyi found a familiar person in Juntaro Kobayashi's gastric solution. word zopiclone.

"It turned out to be eating shit! If that's the case, it's true that you can't hear the whistle. However, how many people are so big that they go to eat **** while they are still boiling water on the stove. Woolen cloth?"

Seeing the information here, Lin Xiu couldn't help but put the two cases together and made some comparisons. Based on available information. The two cases share many similarities. For example, the cause of death of the deceased is due to carbon monoxide poisoning, and the identity is also an elderly living alone who lives affluently. In addition, the two people ate the same ingredients.

"Why is it so coincidental, will there be any problems?"

Lin Xiuyi sat in front of the computer, and the thought in his mind started lingering in his mind at some point. Because this case has been characterized as an accident. Therefore, the Metropolitan Police Department did not devote more energy to the follow-up investigation work. This also caused the lack of some key information that Lin Xiuyi needed in the data. Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but move to the scene of the case to take a look and walk around.

"Miki. Can you go to the crime scene with me and find out what's going on there?"
